The Latest From Godless Mom...

This is secular living with a pulse: sweat, appetite, style, thought, beauty, decent lighting, a kitchen that gets wrecked on purpose, and a mind that stays gloriously unbound with bullshit. We write about evidence-based wellness, fitness, culture, sustainable living, philosophy, and how to build a life so honest and fucking good that no sermon, no guru, and no smug little deity could ever compete with it.

Follow Friday: A Great Tweeter, A Skeptic YouTuber & A Group Of Awesome Canadians

Friday came out of nowhere this week, didnā€™t it? Iā€™m not complaining, I love a good Friday, but I feel like I didnā€™t get anything done this week. Ever feel like that? Sigh.Before I get started, I just wanted to thank you all for your continued support of this hobby of mine. Itā€™s really blown me away, the response Iā€™ve gotten, and I canā€™t express easily how much it all means to me. Really. You people are truly amazing and I hope you all have the absolute best heathen weekend possible.This week,

13 Reasons To Think Religion Is Dying A Painful Death

Religions are assholes. They always have been. Even if you believe in God and you consider yourself a Christian or a Catholic or a Jew, and youā€™re reasonable, you can see this. The organizations are responsible for many atrocities and more deaths than any war. They strip human beings of rights, and fuck up scientific progress. They seep into the policies of most countries and are responsible for some of the most absurd laws that make zero sense except in the context of one holy book. They make g

This Could Be The Most Absurd Catholic Lament Iā€™ve Ever Read

As if we havenā€™t had enough Catholic cry-babyism, David Mills has gone and outdone himself bitching and moaning about something that wasnā€™t actually even said. Heā€™s constructed a straw man so huge, itā€™s making Ron Jeremy jealous.Last week, The New York Times published this piece aboutĀ a gay couple who were told they could not be in choir, receive communion or take on any other roles inĀ their church after they tied the knot. Frank Bruni, who wrote the NYT op-ed, said:The Catholic Church does inca

Every Atheist Parent Needs: The Kid Should See This @TheKidShouldSee

Itā€™s very important to me to be able to raise intelligent, literate, critical thinking kids and Iā€™m always scouring the internet for resources to that end. This past weekend, while looking for some Neil deGrasse Tyson videos my son might like, I came across this web site and I fell in love immediately.Itā€™s called The Kid Should See This and itā€™s kind of like Upworthy for kids.Ā Itā€™s just video after video that engages kids and each postĀ has some kind of educational depth. They cover science, spa

Gā€™day Sheilas & Blokes, This week I want to introduce you to some Australian people who are true blue additions to the atheist community. The first is MrOzAtheist ā€“ this guy is a tweeter extraordinaire and a source of some seriously thought-provoking and laugh-inducing stuff.

Heā€™s definitely someone you want to

Witness To Hate: God Loves Transphobia

If thereā€™s one thing I am sure of about God, itā€™s that the fucker canā€™t get his mind off the D. He just cannot stay outta your pants whether youā€™re gay, trans or just some straight lady who loves to bone. He is obsessed with genitals and I really donā€™t understand it. I mean, I love to engage in relations as much as the next soccer mom but letā€™s face it, our uglies be called ugly ā€™cause theyā€™s fuckinā€™ ugly.Who am I to judge though, really? The dude fucking created the skin flute and the bearded c

Jeebot Writes Letter To Atheist Professorā€¦ I Couldnā€™t Help But Write Back

Greg Trimble, ladies and homeboys, decided it would be in his best interest, and not embarrassing at all, to pen an open letter to his atheist professor and post it on his blog for all the world to see.I thought it would be funny to write back. Note: This will be a better read if you read his letter first. I have borrowed the style and structure of his letter, which was awful.Dear Mr. Trimble,Youā€™re precious, Greg.One day, I started teaching your class aboutĀ evolution and the Big Bang and the Un

Every Atheist Needs: Wrong Men & Twisted Confessions

The two books Iā€™m talking about are The Wrong Men by Stanley Cohen and Twisted Confessions: The True Story Behind The Kitty Genovese And Barbara Kralik Murder Trials.In light of reading Sam Harrisā€™ new book, Waking Up, I was reminded of these two books because they were so brutally unsettling to me. Samā€™s book talks about how little we know about human consciousness and asks the question, is what we know, really what we know?If you supplement Samā€™s book with these two books, youā€™ll answer that q
